HTHEY SAY.H
"Blcsscd arc the pure in heart ;
for they shall see God. "
Did you hear the scandal so industriously -
dustriously circulatcd in Falls
City last week ? 'Ycl1 , it was a'
lie , the whole of it. 'Ve wonder
why some people are so thoughtless -
less , so cruel , as to give circula-
lation to such a story. 'Yc won-
dcI' why people wearing the garment -
ment of decency can bc so inde-
ccn t.
' "Phey say . Richard Roe" I and
so on to thc end of the salacious
talc. No two words in the lan-
g-uag-e arc so potent of c\'il and
( lamnable results as 'they sa ) ' . "
It is thc phrase behind which
every liar seeks refuge from responsibility -
sponsibility You are dcccnt in
your personal habits , why not Le
decent in your mind and heart ?
'Ve heard a lady say the other
. . .
C'Cl11nglave : " 1 lived 1. in man
small towns , but I never knew a
community. so given to scandal as
Falls City. " \Ve do not know
that this is true , but we do
know that there few old -
a ( g-ran-
n's in this town who would rather -
er speak of some nasty scandal
than to speak kindly of their best
fricnd. Has a neighbor been unfortunate -
fortunate ? Is some member of
his family in trouble ? Put on
your sunbonnet , roll down your
,
,
J
sleeves , get out your hammcrand
don't let thc world net il minute
older until you arc out in the
neighborhood knocking and ta t-
tling- \Vhy not bc decent ? No
matter what your personal con-
duct may be , though it he ever so
d , you are not a decent person -
son if you speak told think vu-
gar and indccent things. You
are not what you pretend to be ,
Lord blcss. you none of us are
that ; you are not what you act.
You are what you think-what . ,
out of thc fullness of your heart ,
you speak. In other words you
are just what you are , and you
can't hide it by all the pretense
and hypocrisy in the. world.
This is a pretty good old \vorld
in which you are living The
fellow who goes "a piece" with
you is a pretty good fellow if you
will only look to see You can-
not add anything to the world by
lying about him , but you can
take a great deal from the sum
of human happiness by doing so.
You can make the journey very
pleasant fur yourself and your
cum pan ions if you wil1. You arc
going this way but once and the
road should be easy and pll'asan
Is it worth while to lose it , all by
lies and scandal ?
' 1'lic pure in heart see God here
in the smiling faces of his children -
ren , and when they sec him hereafter -
after there will ] ] bc very little for
which to ask pardon. They will
have lived l as ladies and gentlemen -
men and will probably die as such.
They will go down to meet the
Ferryman at thc \'ater's edge
much as good old Sir Tom did
who said when his time came to
pay the debt : "asking pardon
isn't me long suit , but perhaps
thc time has come for me to play
it. If the good God will be kind
to me I will thank him , as a
gentleman should , and I will take
110 advantage of his kindness ] ; but
if he cannot sec his way clear to
do 'that. I will take what is COI11-
- - -
- - - - -
ing- " Don't be a knocker ; don't
be a scandal monger ; don't lie.
Be fair- bc justbe. . decent , and
our word for H , you will get all
that's coming to you in this world
You won't have to come back for
anything. There will be nothing
due.

NEBRASKA
Nebraska is as fair as a June
bride these days. The trees arc
tropical in their luxuriancc. The
flowers arc blooming profusely ;
the garden truck is unlimited ; thc
wheat and oat fields arc as fair a
sight as any one could wish to
see ; thc corn-well it is a little
backward now , but it will bc Ne-
braska corn when the frost comes ,
and Lord knows that will be suf-
ficien .
Altogether this looks like a republican -
publican year. There isn't room
for a grouch in the whole pcr-
. .
spectivc. No blighted present
no dismal J future. Nebraska has
cut loose from old associates and
is trying to forget ; a glimpse of
her smiling face shows how well
she is satisfied with present com-
patuy' . Our populist friends arc
plcasehtt the material prospect ,
but groan in their secret souls at
the prospect politica1. 'The ) ' feel
that thc state is both unkind told
utltrnstworthy. Much as Jerry
Simpson felt towards the locust.
Mien the waning fortunes of the
poputiS\ part ail Kansas was
causing him serious concern , he
delivcred a speech in the lower
house of congress replete with
dismal prophesies , and painted
the octopus in sombre huc' : At
the conclusion of his remarks ,
Congressman Mitt of Illinois approached -
preached hini and said : "Checr
up Jerry , political conditions at
home : may not be as bad as you
belic\'e I read this morning that
thc locust were crossing the Colorado -
ratio line into your state , and
would probably destroy the
crops " "I know , " replied Simpson -
"I know but d--- it Intt
son , ow , - - - ,
you can't trust 'cm. "

The practical politicians arc
opposed to President Hoosevelt.
'l'his is true not only in thc east ,
but to a limited extent in the
west. From their standpoint he
is unreliablc. He can't bc depended -
cd upon. The welfare of Toni ,
nick and Harry doesn't appeal to
him as strongly as civic rig-htc-
ousncss and the interests of the
people. Threats of political dis-
aster have proved impotent. Expediency -
pcdicnc is not prominent in his
official life \Vith him , what is
Tight is more to be desired than
what do the boys . want. He is i "
essentially the ' candidate of thc
people. He recognizes his duty
to the masses and feels his accountability -
'countability to them. There is
something splendid in thc integrity -
rity , the aspirations ; the courage
of 1'heodore oosc\'e1t In the
sum of man's accomplish m cats he
'ii as counted one. He has made
good. . . , . . . ' . - . .
If Judge Parker of New York
should be nominated at St. Louis ,
why not choose the notification
committee from among those delegates -
cg-atcs who arc acquainted with
thc deaf and dumb alphabet ?

The more we read of the Colo-
rado labor trouble , the more we
are impressed with the Atchison
Globe's inquiry : "we wonder
who the l e\'il left in charge of
hell while hc is visiting in Colo-
rado ? "

so far as thc state senatorship is
concerned , com plctly' "ruckcr-cd"

\Vc confess to a feeling of dish 'C l
apointuient over this appoin tmcn t.
Mr Morton has been a l11el11br of
thc republican party but a very
.
short timc. Time republicans of
Richardson county have had
such a bitter experience with
political apostates , that lhay arc

The editorial sheet or the Lin-

readable pages in thc state. 1'l1'e

For some time he News man : has
been casting vague insinuations ; :
at A. Galusha , republican candi-
late for Secretary of State. Mr.
Galusha is one of thc most prom-
inent members of thc A. 0 U.
'WT lodge in Nebraska , and is at
the head of its most important
committce. If there be anything
wrong with him the republican
party wants to known what it is ,
and thc lodge will doubtless wel-
come such information. Those
men who have known Mr. Ga-
lusha best and longest ] say that
-
he is a square man j if the New ' .1\ (
knows anything to thc contrary .
I
it knows more than his neighbors
do Lund should tell it and , tell it
now If it knows nothing : derogatory -
atory to the candidate , it should
stop this umany ] stabbing of him' , . . _ .
in the . dark , let up on its mean i :
insinuations and forever hold its r :
peace.

When the voters of this county
come to vote for county attorney ,
we woulll tike to have , them re- a . i
memhcr the words used by \V. H. i i
Morrow in accepting the republican -
, I .
can nomination for this office : "I
Shall never use I11Y office to shield
a guilty friend , nor shall I use it
to prosecute an innocent fol. "
The party is quite proud of its
candidate , and indorses his plat- t
